The GEM of EGYPT

While all of this work has been going on, other crews have been working on completing the GEM's massive boom.

Here's the head end of the boom, with the Point Sheaves in place. The Hoist cables for the dipper will pass over these sheaves and loop around the sheaves attached to the dipper. The ends of the hoist cables will then be attached to fixed clevis's just below ( and inline with ) the point sheaves.
